Summary: GREAT BOOK FOR ALL AGES!
Review: Great book! I purchased this book because I have a student who was recently diagnosed with diabetes. I wanted the class to understand what their classmate was going through and to answer any questions they may have. I truly believe that educating children on issue such as this will help enhance their lives as well as the child who is experiencing it first hand. Thanks Kim, for a wonderful book for all ages!!

Summary: A Great Book to Send to School!
Review: My daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes three years ago. Every year since, I've asked her teachers to let her read this book to the class at the beginning of the year. This is a great tool for the other children to understand what Diabetes is, why my daughter gets special snacks at special times, but most importantly it lets them know that she is just like every other kid. Having Diabetes is hard enough on children without the added stress it can cause at school. I encourage all parents who are in my position to make this book a part of your school education efforts. It shouldn't replace the training materials and meetings, but addresses the often overlooked element of how to help the child with Diabetes fit into the classroom.
